In a Japanese school, we meet a fourteen-year-old boy. Subjected to relentless torment for having a lazy eye, he chooses to suffer in silence instead of fighting back. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate, Kojima, who experiences similar treatment at the hands of her bullies. Providing each other with consolation at a time in their lives when they need it most, the two young friends grow closer than ever. But what, ultimately, is the nature of a friendship when your shared bond is terror? --|cSource other than Library of Congress.
